Reverend Davis stated the tree in the courtyard will be exchanged for another and reported it was paid for by a donor. He spoke to Session about our long-view vision and the necessity to celebrate life with life (planting a tree) and hope. A tree is a statement that the life of the church will go on even after we are no longer here.
